5.0 out of 5 stars Great piece of kit!
Easy to use and was a great addition for taking wildlife photos while in Antarctica. Would definitely recommend for the price!
5.0 out of 5 stars Really good flexible zoom lens
This is a terrific lens. It produces good quality images even at extreme distances. Obviously the bigger you go with zoom lenses the closer you get to the subject but this smallish zoom lens does a great job for its size and comparative cost.I love it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Compact Zoom Lens Great Value
This lens is a decent and compact zoom option. However, be cautious with the silver model, as its surface is prone to scratches. The Optical SteadyShot (OSS) performance is excellent and comparable to more expensive lenses. Although the aperture is relatively small and the bokeh isn't exceptional, the overall image quality is good. If you can find this lens for under £140 during a Sony cashback promotion, it's a great deal. For best results, avoid pushing the lens to its limits. I recommend choosing the black version over the silver for better cosmetic durability.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, easy to use, big zoom.
I've been using this lens for a few weeks now and so far so good! I'm no professional photographer and only take photos as a hobby, however, there's very little I can fault with this lens from my experience.The photos attached are all taken with this lens on a Sony A5000 camera, not the best camera in the world but I love the photos I managed to take with it.Good things:Solid build quality, very well made.Takes great photos at far zooms.Focuses fast (most of the time).Has good stabilisation even at maximum zoom.Less good things:On occasion I've been completely unable to focus on certain things no matter how much I try, I'm sure this could be fixed with manual focus but autofocus just couldn't get it,When the lens hood is on it can be fiddly to get the lens cap back on securely without removing the lens hood,Very niche issue here but whilst I was at the Eden project, the rainforest biome is extremely humid and the lens completely steamed up, could wipe it off but worth noting if you're planning to use in extremely humid environmentsApart from a few minor flaws, everything else is absolutely perfect and amazing value for money! Would definitely recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars What I’ve been looking for 👍
I love used it a good amount in the time I’ve had it. I’ve been changing different birds around and getting great pictures. I have it on the Sony a6000 and I feel like it’s a great set up. I wouldn’t go any bigger for what I need. Cleans and crisp pictures. It’s portable easy to use and great.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for some things, terrible for others
There are of course better lenses on Sony’s shelves.I would say, if like me you do photography for a hobby and are on a budget, the lens is fantastic. I have taken some quality photos that have made me really proud.Downfall is of course f number, so if you’re looking to do wildlife shots then stay clear unless you wanted below average sharpness.I personally use this lens, for landscape shots of mountains and it has worked brilliantly
4.0 out of 5 stars Good travel lens but poor IQ when wide open
I dithered for ages before eventually buying this lens for a holiday to Costa Rica. I used it on a Sony A6500.In the end it was the right choice because I got some good wildlife shots but it was hard work.The good points:Small and light, solid construction, no zoom creep, potentially good Image quality (but see caveat below), supplied hood, convenient filter size (49mm), excellent zoom range especially on a crop-frame body, fast to focus on the a6500, even on full zoom. Very good price.The less good points:Slow maximum aperture at the 210mm end (f6.3) and image quality distinctly soft at the maximum aperture (many other reviewers have mentioned this).What this all means is that to get the best out of this lens you need to discipline yourself to use a max aperture of f8 - not that easy in the low light of a jungle - which means a high ISO is needed as well. Above f7.1 I found Image quality tightens up considerably.In the jungle I also had the additional factor of leaves and branches fooling the autofocus, but that could affect any lens and was largely a matter of setting up the AF correctly. So, choose the camera to partner this lens with care - not necessarily one at a comparable price point.Other reviewers have given this lens a low points score mainly because of the shortcomings I have mentioned. On balance I think the design is basically good for a travel lens, even the slow max aperture, as this largely determines its useful small size. What would get it 5 stars from me is a mark 2 version with good image quality when wide open.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good lens for the money :)
Lovely lens+ Good zoom for a low price.+ 3.5f on 55mm (the kit lens on a6000 at 50mm is at 5.6f).+ It's a bit long but it's not very heavy and not fat looking.+ looks better than the kit lens with the hood on.- Image quality little bit better than the kit lens (50mm kit lens vs this one at 55mm)- 6.3f at 210mm- 55mm min rangeOverall: Very good value zoom lens. Tho not even close to other zoom lens in quality, this lens is also far away lower than the price range of the other zooms (like the 18-200mm)Also you get what you pay for. But for 200£ if you are just starting out and wanna have a zoom lens without spending a week (or 2 for some) worth of work.
Muy buen objetivo
Me gusta mucho este objetivo. Tiene una buena calidad óptica con poca, o diría que nula deformación de la imagen. La velocidad de enfoque es muy rápida, mucho mejor que objetivos Nikon o Cannon al menos en cámaras básicas. En modo AF es silencioso y hasta ahora no he tenido problemas de ruido al grabar video. Es muy ligero y compacto. Ideal para el uso de cámaras Sony sin espejo con sensor de formato cmos pequeño. Ideal para viajar. Recomendable comprarle un filtro uv o skyly para proteger la lente frontal. Seria ideal que contara con una bolsa de transporte. Muy buena relación precio calidad.
En perfecto estado
Tenía la cámara y quería un objetivo con bastante zoom ya que íbamos a realizar un safari, pero tampoco queríamos gastar mucho dinero porque no sabía si luego lo iba a utilizar más o no. El objetivo llegó en perfecto estado y en relación calidad. Precio increíble!! Las fotos tenían una calidad impresionante. Fue todo un acierto.
Tolles Teleobjektiv mit beeindruckender Bildqualität und schnellem Autofokus
Das Sony SEL-55210 hat mich positiv überrascht und ist ein echtes Preis-Leistungs-Wunder. Die Bildqualität ist für ein Objektiv dieser Preisklasse hervorragend. Besonders beeindruckend ist der schnelle und präzise Autofokus, der selbst bei bewegten Motiven zuverlässig arbeitet. In Kombination mit der optischen Bildstabilisierung gelingen mir gestochen scharfe Aufnahmen, was gerade bei Telebrennweiten wichtig ist.Der Ring für den manuellen Fokus ist bei meinem Exemplar jedoch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Er fühlt sich nicht so präzise an, wie ich es mir wünschen würde, weshalb ich meist den Autofokus bevorzuge. Glücklicherweise funktioniert dieser im Automatikmodus tadellos, sodass ich auf den manuellen Fokus kaum angewiesen bin.Das Bokeh, das dieses Objektiv erzeugt, ist für den Preis wirklich schön. Es sorgt für eine sanfte Hintergrundunschärfe und hebt das Motiv gut hervor. Auch wenn das SEL-55210 relativ kompakt und leicht ist, fühlt es sich dennoch hochwertig und solide verarbeitet an.Ein besonderes Highlight war für mich, dass ich sogar beeindruckende Mondfotos machen konnte – für ein Teleobjektiv dieser Preisklasse absolut bemerkenswert. Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden und kann das Sony SEL-55210 wärmstens empfehlen, besonders für Fotografen, die ein kompaktes und leistungsstarkes Teleobjektiv suchen.
Ett bra start objektiv
Detta är ett bra objektiv när man vill börja lära sig fotografera saker som står på avstånd. Jag har lyckats ta några riktigt bra bilder med denna, både med min a5100 och min a6300.
Très bien
Très bon
